A FRIEND TO DISEASE.

What Alcohol Does to the Kidneys, Liv-
er, Heart, Stomach, Brain and Nervous
System.
The kidneys are often the seat of
deep and incurable disease, brought on
by alcohol. 1t is the testimony of med
ical authorities that seven out of eight
cases of the dreaded and incurable
''Bnght's disease" are due to the eff
fects of rum. The exclusive use of
beer and other malt liquors is frequent
cause of calculi in the bladder, or
''gravel."
The liver, the largest and most i'm
portant gland in the body, is another
victim of the rum habit. The use of
alcohol produces in it disease called
cirrhosis, commonly called 'hob-nail
liver" or whisky liver" 1t is incura-
BILE, and dragslts victim slowly down
to sure and agonizing death.
The heart is among one of the first of
the vital organs to feel the effects of
this internal poison. from the constant
excessive stimulation and oyer-action,
its fibers become weakened, and finally
its muscular walls undergo fatty de-
generation. This is very dangerous;
for any sudden shock, Or oyer-eXertion,
or exposure to cold, or fatigue, o. any
very depressing influence, may cause
sudden death. Heart disease" the
coroner calls it, to soften the grief of
the friends; but it is alcohol that kills
the man.
Along with this alteration of the
heart, or perhaps preceding or follow
ing it, is decided arrangement Of the
coats Of the arteries. The walls Of
of these blood-vessels, in state Of
health, are firm and elastic, and their
power of recoil is a necessity TO a per-
feet, healthy circulation of the blood.
These strong, resilient coats become
thin and dilated, or else brittle from
the deposit of a lime-like substance in
stead of the proper fiber. A little un-
due pressure then may cause a rupture
of the walls, and sudden death at once
results.
Of course the brain and nervous
system suffer. The brain itself is
hardened by the use of alcohol, be-
cause it contains much albumen, and
alcohol will harden it as it VIII the
white of an egg. Mental yigor is de-
stroyed. The entire nervous system is
subject to a long train of grave disor-
ders from the use of this poison. We
only refer to that terrible nervous de-
rangement called mania q potu, and
delirium tremens, that horror of iii
horrors. to call to mind the danger to
any one of a nervous temperament
from indulgence in rum. Another
nervous arrangement insomnia. or

THE FARMERS WIFE.

Helps In the Kitchen and Sitting Room
with Which She Should Be Provided.
The head of the family has all kinds
of labor-saying machinery in his field
of action, but too often it is the ease
that the woman of the house has to get
along without the assistance OF such
labor-saving devices as are appropri-
ate to her sphere, and the work she
has to do. This is not as it should be.
The man who seeks to save labor in
the field by the use of machinery,
ought to have in mind the fact that his
wife has to work quite as hard in the
kitchen as he has been in the habit of
doing out of doors, and that it is his
duty to procure for her such helps as
will tighten her toll and do away,
as much as possible, with the
drudgery of house-work. In buying
machinery for himself and not for her
he is guilty of that form of selfshness
which is almost, if not quite, a crime
Husband and wife are partners in the
work of life, each having charge of q
special department, and what each
does in that department contributes to
the general welfare and benefit of the
''frm." Neither has the moral right
to consult his or her interests alone.
The interests of both should be re-
garded, and the kind and thoughtful
husband will not care to monopolize
all the benefits resulting from the la
Dor of both. For every machine that
he buys for himself to save labor, OF
make work easier and more effective,
he will buy one for his wife. He will
furnish her a good washing-machine
and wringer There will be a good
churn, and the stove will be one with
all the modern improvements"
There will be cistern, and the cistern
will have a pump, and, of course, there
will be a sewing-machine, and, per-
haps, a knitting-machine. Why notP
Knitting by hand is something like GO
ing through corn-tield with the old
hoe. If he has cultivator to do that
work with, why should she not have a
machine to do the family knitting
WITH? She can knit evenings, do you
say? What will you be doing thenP
Reading the newspaper, or magazine,
ehP Well, perhaps she would like to
read some, rather than be obliged to
spend the hours until bedtime in knit
ting. Think of it. "Put yourself in
her place" and-do as you would be
done bY.-Anerica1a AqricMZturist.

Accuracy of German Works.

In the production of elaborate works
on natural science for the general sci
entitic reader or student the Germans
are .tactle princeps. Beside bearing
evidences of thoroughness and general
accuracy, such works usually present a
hemogeneity and completeness rarely
attained in English ones of similar
class. To vivacity of expression and
the more purely literary embellish-
ments or literary condiments they
rarely make pretensions; and yet he
who has read in the original the writ
ings of such authors as Haeckel will
readily concede that the German STYLE
may be not whit less charming, less
simple and less interesting than the
French or English, while at the same
time combining, what is often such a
fatal defect in many French works on
general natural scientific subjects,
truthfulness. Button made many book
naturalists, but he has much to answer
for in the self-sufficient complacency
and inexactness of many of the French
naturalists who have succeeded him.
1t is rare talent that can excel in az
tractive literary exposition and yst
command the respect of the critical
scientific naturalist. -S Science.

FLOODS IN THE WEST.

The Highest Rise in the Missouri Since
1881 Experienced at Kansas City Con-
siderable Damage Done and More
Feared.
KANSAS CRY, no., April 2.-The Mis-
souri, river has risen to the height of 90 3
feet above loW-water mark ana is slowly
rising. The rise has already begun to
work damage. The levee III the East hot
toms near the Blue Is under water and a
large amount of the bank in front of E. L.
Martins distillery has bean washed away
by the current, and the river is making
great inroads into the banks of the Missouri
Pacific railroad All the low land of
Pest Island is under water Along West
Kansas the huts OF many squatters have
been washed away. A negro colony at a
point where the KaW empties into the Mis-
souri, was obliged to seek refuge from the
rising waters on higher ground, most of
their huts being washed away. It is se-.
ported that young colored child was
drowned at this point, having been left at
one of the nuts which were swept away.
No excessive damage has thus far occurred
to property along the river, but owners
are anxiously watching the cages in appre-
hension that the river will inundate their
property. This is the highest April rise
since 1881
